Dirt cake, also called dirt and worms, is an Americancake made from cookies and pudding in combination with other ingredients to create a dessert that has a resemblance to soil or earth. It is made by combining crushed Oreo cookies on top of vanilla or chocolate pudding, and adding gummy candy worms on top.[1][2][3] Variations include vanilla wafers, vanilla pudding,[4] whipped cream or Cool Whip, and cream cheesepudding in the recipe.[3]
Several bakeries in Singapore sold dirt cakes served in flowerpots after the dessert appeared on the Taiwanese show A Hint of You.[5]
In 2024, Oreo released a limited edition Dirt Cake flavor cookie.[6][7]
